ANIMALS/ HUNTING

You can eat any animal that you come across as long as you cook it properly and long enough.

you can hunt deers, elk, bear, squirrel, and fish. You will need to put your food hung up high in the trees so nothing comes along and takes it from you.

make sure you are not hunting from a large pack of animals that may or can retrace you.

many of these animals survive from adapting to the weather over the season changes and hunting smaller game than their own.

bears survive throughout the seasons by growing their winter fur coat in the winter and keeping warm when needed. They hunt the fish in order to get fed and survive.
